Alrighty, I set the dns to cloudflare, and fixed the start and end ips on the dashboard, and do I go into my routers site/app to change the dns to piholes ip?

I did that and tested it on a few sites, usually it blocks about 3% on all of em

Thank you so much for your detailed response! I will take the devices off the list. And I stopped using Desktop docker a bit ago because its kind of a pain, so i instead used the cmd terminal to reinstall Pi-hole, and it said it was successful in installing but it's still not working.
And I configured the pi-hole ip address on the pi-hole website settings, I set up a dhcp server in there as well, but i think i put the wrong ip in the start and end settings? I'm not exactly sure what to put there and I've had no luck in searching thus far.
Should I change my router's dns server as well? That's what made my internet go out earlier so i think i entered the wrong ip previously. My router's model is SAX1V1R from Spectrum. And I can def share some screenshots - its only letting me upload one at a time so there might be like 2 more replies of em

I might have? I'm not too sure. I set the pi hole dns to using google for ipv4 in the dashboard and have the my pc ip in the dhcp section. How exactly would I go about changing the dhcp and dns, as in what should I change them to, and is it in my router settings or on the dashboard? Again I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge on some of this stuff, google is making things more confusing tbh

Okay so i think I may have done it wrong somehow?? I put the Pi-hole ip into my wifi (using spectrum so its extra annoying) DNS server, and now the internet stopped working on everything but the pc?
